Carson Wentz and Jared Goff continued their respective marches through the league on Sunday, with the no. 1 and 2 picks in the 2016 draft both hanging 51 points on their competition. Elsewhere, A.J.

And in the Chiefs-Cowboys matchup, check-down master Alex Smith finally got a signature Hail Mary moment—in the form of 26-yard, midrange dump-off, of course.
